Description
For Billy Hayes, 1970 was a horrifying year. It was the year when he tried to smuggle 4lbs of hashish from Istanbul back to his home in America. It was the year when he was arrested at Istanbul airport, tried, and sentenced to 30 years in a Turkish jail.
For five years, he suffered the filth, brutality, and degradation of imprisonment in an environment of hellish squalor, while his family fought in vain to secure his release. Finally, in desperation, he made a daring escape bid, and incredibly, the bid succeeded.
This is the astounding true story, told in Billy Hayes's own words, of those five years of living hell and of the harrowing ordeal of his time on the run. Vivid and realistic without being morbid, it is a classic story of survival and human endurance, told with humour, intelligence, and total honesty.
Midnight Express is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a man faced with extraordinary challenges, providing a gripping and unforgettable narrative.
